Not long ago you'd find me feeling so lowI had some troubles that you just can't hideNo time to start but livin' far from my heartI thought I'd take another look inside

Lovers and friends will come and go like the windAnd there is nothin' any man can doFor what it's worth I'll make a home on this earthAnd I will hope that love will see me through

Chorus:

I'll leave myself a little time for some gladnessAnd even if I don't know whyTomorrow's gonna bring the sunshine to a brand new day anywayThere's music in the air with laughter everywhereAnd love could be the reason whyI'll leave myself a little time to go a different way

I can't believe that now I'm singin' a songOr that I'm laughin' with that great big sunNo one I see has got a worry for meI'm keepin' old Mister Time on the run
